How much do you guys actively lengthen the outside leg? There is a lot of discussions about creating pressure vs just bracing against the build up of pressure. When actuvively lengthening the out side leg (in a carved turn) I assume you automatically move COM further into the turn and thereby generate even more power and speed. And u stand stronger with on a more lengthened outside leg.
I don’t think about it at all. My focus is on holding the edge once it’s engaged. When getting onto the edge it is about bracing against the forces. No active extension there either
In a carved turn, you are using gravity, friction, and other forces to your benefit - meaning you can't replicate any of it standing still. You can push your outside ski out as far as you want, as long as you can balance and hold the edge. It's all about that lateral movement, in all of these turns your skis are always pointing downhill, you're just rolling your ankles and going from edge to edge. Your skis should be off to the side of you in carve turns, if they are constantly under you, then you are not carving... just my opinion.
You just triggered me to watch your other videos again 😂 I’m trying to understand the feeling and timing. Here are some questions I have. 1. So, during the turn, do you actively retract both feet and actively extend to the other side or just flex and wait for your body to travel with gravity while feet cross under body with rebound force and away from body with momentum from the last turn? 2. Do I need to drop my hip as low as possible before apex to achieve max edge angle or the angle is developing continuously during apex?
Simply beautiful turns!
Great vid, Joe!
Noticed his pole planting is just a very light touch if any. That inside knee drops low and he comes close to touching his fist on the snow as well.
I've always wondered, how fast do you need to go to be able to drop your hip so low without falling in!

Mr Nyman looks very tall compared to every other person on in this video. Good as always skidad.
That’s because he is bigger than everyone else, much bigger!

Love the channel. Was going to leave a tip/thanks but there's no Thanks button?
Much more interesting than balance and all the other carving stuff, .....what the hell do Americans do to get these cool cowboy voice 😉
steve being 6' 4" might have something to do with it! 😆
